Book Reviews of The Complete Book of Long-Distance Cycling: Build the Strength, Skills, and Confidence to Ride as Far as You Want
Book Review: The Best of 15 Books! 5 Stars Plus!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am helping my husband plan an unsupported cross country trip this summer. I have now read 15 books on Long Distance, Cross Country Cycling. This is the only book I am passing on to my husband and his cycling companion as a Must Read before the trip. He has already found, through Ed&Ed's advice: a great weight work-out, he's seen a podiatrist for cycling orthotics , and adjusted his seat because he was starting a knee injury. The information on nutrition is really helpful as my husband has trouble with blood sugar. Everything from hydration systems to leg warmers is practical, useful and ultimately helpful information. Ed&Ed give credible advise because of their vast experience with long distance cycling. If you are considering a tour of any length, this is a Must Have Book!
